Skill Difference Question between the $11 and the $22

[xGoreDudex]

Just wondering if the jump is substantially noticable in skill between these two levels? and when do you know you are ready to move up, besides BR requirement of course.

Thanks,

Depends on your definition of substantially. It is harder to reach a 20% ROI at the 22s. If I was to make a guess a 20% ROI at the 11s translates to perhaps 15% in the 22s.

I'd say that's about right.

I made a big deal about moving up but really it's been dead easy. They are definitely harder but if your a solid 11s player you'll have no problems beating them for a good roi.

I can only speak about Ultimate Bet but I have to say the $22s are almost identical to the $11s. The only noticable difference comes from the $5s to the $33s. Otherwise, it almost feels like the same pool of idiots.

Every once in a while I'll be playing $55s all day and wonder what the hell is going on. Even at that level, I encounter a bunch of ridiculous plays.

Give the $22s a try and I'm sure you'll figure out quickly if moving up is appropriate. Surely it will go fine.

I wish - I have a little of 20% ROI at the 11s, but got crushed at the 22s for a nice negative ROI (around 300 sngs)They really don't seem any tougher, but I have no idea why I do so bad.

Yea, same thing happened to me when I moved up to 2/4. I had crushed .5/1, 1/2, 1/2 6-max, but at 2/4 I'm down about 500bb over 30k hands. Now I only play SNG's [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Yawn.

The 22's are harder than the 11's. You'll certainly encounter more 2+2'ers at the 22's, and that means less total donkeys to bleed their chips to you. That said, 22's aren't much harder, IMO.

You know you're ready to move up if you a) have the bankroll, and b) are consistently beating the 11's over a decent sample (~1000 tourneys should be adequate to know). OR...you know you're ready to move up when you feel you're ready to move up. Worst thing that can happen is you get crushed for a little bit, those of us here make more money, and you move back down.

If you are talking about pokerstars, I think the $10 is much harder than $20 because of the college students down there trying to build the roll carefully. Go a little higher and you've got lots of guys with plenty of cash playing for kicks.

Wrong.
